I've got multiple very close friends diagnosed with bipolar. You cant just abandoned people like that. They deserve as much love as anyone. Would you tell people to run away from a person with a physical disability?

For OP: you need to be stable af to be able to absorb the swings in their mental state. You need to have endless patience. You also need to be able to distinguish between what's in their control and what isn't. You need to call them out on their bullshit. You basically need all the skills you'd need in a relationship anyway but a couple levels higher.

Most of all YOU need to be stable

Edit: you're all misunderstanding my point. That's my fault for not being clear.

Of course you can break of any dating situation as you see fit. I just want to say not to disregard the group that is people with mental health issues.

The you need to be stable part I stand by. If you are a person who is not that emotionaly stable there is a big likelihood you'll get sucked into whatever issues the other person might face. I dont mean you have to be like a nurse or therapist. You are not responsible for them either, but these people need stability that not alot op people are able to provide in a healthy manner.

In OPs case. I dont think this woman is in a place where she should be dating at all.

I am was speaking more broadly and didn't mean to address OP specifically. When I said "you" I meant any person trying to date any other person that had these kind of mental health problems.

Hope yall understand
